Hopefully sending her to destinystrings

[unlimited_shipping_works]

C'moooon, Mun! Finish the app already!

[Eager muse is eager]

Look, don't worry about me. I can get along anywhere! And if it's my voice you're worried about, we'll work on that as we go.

[She grins excitedly.]

And I've gotta say, I'm pretty excited about this strings place~

I get my own persona, get to fight demons, and form social links! It's like a dream come true! Like being the main character in some awesome new series! I can't wait!

Good question.... I wouldn't want to miss out on any good ones.

Hey, do you think there might be a way to join both groups? If I'm careful with my time and trip the right flags it might work.

[noble_fangasm]

I don't know... it's not like we're talking about cultural clubs here.

[unlimited_shipping_works]

That's true. More and more games are getting less forgiving about that kind of thing.

... Which means I'll have to make a choice.

[Clearly this needs to be approached with all seriousness.]

In that case the civilian group is probably better. The social links there might be easier to level...

[noble_fangasm]

But don't you think the secret organization option will probably have a better overall plot? That kind of setup is always full of a lot of intrigue. The civilian group will just put you on rails since all they'll be able to do is react to things until you meet a detective type character, and they almost never join up until late game.

[unlimited_shipping_works]

Oh my gosh, you're right! The detective never joins up until way late in the game! And before they do the civilian group is stuck on a single path.

I can't believe I forgot about that...

[So embarrassed.]

[noble_fangasm]

And you'll get to meet more people if you join the secret organization, since most of those guys won't even have Social Links anyway.

Of course, you'd be playing girls' side, though, so that might not work out quite the same way.

[unlimited_shipping_works]

Yeah, but I'm okay with that. If you ask me, girl's side gets you better dating options anyway.

[noble_fangasm]

Gonna go for all of them at once? You'll have to manage your time really well so none of them catch you.

[unlimited_shipping_works]

Hey, there's no point if you're not gonna try for one hundred percent completion, right?

Plus I want a lot of options for Christmas dates. That's the only way to be sure I get a chance at the sp restoring item. It'll be pretty tough without a guide though...

[noble_fangasm]

You'll have at least two shots at everyone anyway if you think about it, though. You usually can't get the True End or fuse the ultimate Persona until the second playthrough.

[unlimited_shipping_works]

Yeah, I know. I've been wondering how they're gonna handle that. And what we'll get to keep on the second playthrough....


I'm sure we'll at least get to keep stats, but what about levels?

[noble_fangasm]

It depends. I think that makes the second time through too easy. It's enough to just have the compendium and your money.

[unlimited_shipping_works]

Yeah, being able to just buy a decent persona makes a huge difference. And the fusion quests are so easy the second time through.

Oh, hey Yumacchi, guess what? This game also has a rumors system like the one in Persona 2! I can't wait to try it out!

[Erika should not be allowed to spread rumors here. Ever.]

[noble_fangasm]

You can finish the whole Empress link in a day!

[Which game do they even think this is based on anymore, seriously.]

You should spread a rumor that the manga shop is selling that figurine you missed out on last month at a discount because they got surprise overflow stock and don't have room for it on their shelves.

[unlimited_shipping_works]

That is the best idea!

Oh! And do you think if I spread rumors about the maid cafe, I can get them to have a cosplay theme day?

[noble_fangasm]

Something like that should be easy compared to getting some random old man to suddenly have a cache of weapons he didn't have before that he's willing to sell you for no reason. You should try it!

[unlimited_shipping_works]

I totally will! Man, this is gonna be awesome!

You know, I wonder if that would work if we tried it at Russia Sushi? Just tell people that they're selling weapons. Oh, and old spy gear from when they were in the KGB!

[Yeah, they were completely in the KGB, right?]

[noble_fangasm]

[Yeah, KGB, totally.]

I bet we don't even have to spread that rumor - they probably do have a secret weapons store!

[unlimited_shipping_works]

Yeah, but I bet you have to order a special set of sushi to get it! Like a secret code.

[Why is she whispering?]

[noble_fangasm]

I bet it's the Kremlin set. Or maybe you have to order five different kinds that spell some code phrase if you use the first letters, like RYBAT or something. Roe, yams - they have yams there, right - borscht, albacore and... tamago?

[unlimited_shipping_works]

That must be it! Yumacchi, you're a genius! We are so ordering that next time!

[Obviously this is a real thing and not something they made up five minutes ago.]

I wonder if anyone else has figured out the code yet?

[noble_fangasm]

Izaya probably knows.

[...

...

HEY WAIT A SECOND]

In fact, he's probably the one who spread the rumor in the first place! He must have secretly known about how that mechanic works the whole time he's been in Ikebukuro!

[unlimited_shipping_works]

Of course! That explains everything!

[No it doesn't.]

That's why the town is full of things like headless riders and crime bosses and curses and serial killers!

Because of all the rumors!

[This is the most shocking revelation ever.]

Yumacchi, you know what we have to do, right?

[Serious fais.]

[noble_fangasm]

This is the chance of a lifetime! Which one do you want to use?

[He's already digging through a stack of manga and self-published doujinshi.]

[unlimited_shipping_works]

You have to ask?

[She clears her throst and then continues in what is clearly a 'narrator' voice.]

Unbeknownst to all, A shard of the Holy Grail escaped destruction after the fifth war. And so, years later, the grail's power resurfaced in Ikebukuro.

And thus, on a dark winter's night, the sixth Holy Grail war began...
